I agree that the technical solutions can be developed. More complicated is identifying the external services that will provide the authoritative, evidence-based, maintained knowledgebase for the systems to call, including all the variations based on age, gender, race, co-morbidities etc. If we think establishing, verifying and maintaining terminologies are difficult...

So I think it mainly comes down to the syntax and programming model of talking out to such interfaces. We might potentially assume that they are all based on a common ontology meta-model of some kind (e.g. based on BFO, RO, IAO etc) in which case a common underlying style could be established. - thomas _______________________________________________ openEHR-technical mailing list openEHR-technical@lists.openehr.org http://lists.openehr.org/mailman/listinfo/openehr-technical_lists.openehr.org _______________________________________________ openEHR-technical mailing list openEHR-technical@lists.openehr.org http://lists.openehr.org/mailman/listinfo/openehr-technical_lists.openehr.org
